Princess Cruises has won yet another award in relation to their Alaska cruises and cruisetours. This time it’s the Telly Awards and they won a few of them. Read the press release below from princess.com for all the details.

The cruise was on a 10-day Alaskan trip out of San Francisco when it was reported that 53 of 2,196 passengers contracted the virus, a highly contagious gastroenteritis infection. The June 19 cruise means that more than 350 passengers have become sick aboard the company’s cruises since May 10 according to the Centers for Disease Control.

The Sea Princess reported 53 of its 2,196 passengers on the Princess Cruises 10-day Alaskan trip that left the Port of San Francisco on June 19 were affected by the virus, a highly contagious gastroenteritis infection.

Go North' is such a unique look at the history of what made southeast Alaska what it is today, particularly the fascinating legacy of gold rush era," said Jan Swartz, Princess executive vice president. "We're happy the Telly Award judges saw the same excellence we did in this production, which we believe will give passengers a unique feel for the scope and beauty of this part of the world."

Princess Cruises' fleet is among the industry's most contemporary: The line has launched half of its ships in the 21st century. In 2002, the company acquired three vessels from now-defunct Renaissance Cruises: the rechristened Tahitian Princess (renamed Ocean Princess in November 2009), Pacific Princess and Royal Princess (which will leave the fleet in 2011 to join sister line P&O Cruises).
